Spotted this hoverfly sitting on a camellia bud the other day. As soon as I started to hold a leaf near the bud, the hoverfly started to stretch towards my finger. I moved my finger a bit nearer and the hoverfly walked on for a warm up before flying back to a camellia leaf and feeding on some sugar/honey syrup.
